Can my research project be in conjunction with other students or in a group with a faculty member with funding in which I am working on certain aspects?
There is no problem for your research to be performed in collaboration with a group of researchers. They could either be fellow students or research and professional staff working in a lab on campus. The important element of the program is that you must have responsibility for some aspect of that research program and write it up as your thesis. If there are several students working together, each must have their own individual thesis topic and document. So it is okay to work in a group as long as each of you has a separate question to write up in the end.
